COIN COLLECTING FOR KIDS

The 50 State Quarters Program

Coin collecting for kids has never been easier. An exciting new coin series has recently hit circulation - Quarters celebrating each state individually. Collect all 50!

The 50 State Quarters® Program started in 1999 and is expected to continue through 2008. Coins are issued in the order in which states entered the union (Delaware's quarter was issued first, etc.).

Here's a state-by-state list of these quarters. It includes dates of release, scheduled dates of future releases, number of coins minted for each state, and a brief description of the image depicted on the back of each coin.
